I love the phrase "world-class wine"—considering how much poor wine exists around the world, I'm not sure that's exactly a glowing endorsement! They offer a "custom crush of your favorite varietal": how wonderful. I'm sure they are using only the best grapes, etc., etc. Color me skeptical. Anyone actually seen one of their systems in action, or better still, sampled the results? $5k buys a lot of damned nice bottles of wine.

ETA: I suppose the school may still be useful even ignoring their system, if they still just teach the basics of wine making.
